Shōgen
Encyclopedia : S : SH : SHG : Shōgen
Shōgen (正元) was a Japanese era after Shōka and before Bun'o that spanned from 1259 to 1260. Reigning emperors were Emperor Go-Fukakusa and Emperor Kameyama.
The Shōgen era was in a period marked by famine and epidemics and the era name was changed twice in short succession in the hope that this might bring them to a close[link].
Shōgen is also an alternative pronunciation of the name of the Jōgen era (1207–1211).
